What does nph mean on a ct scan of the brain?

NPH on a CT scan of the brain stands for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. It is a condition characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles, leading to ventricular enlargement without a significant increase in intracranial pressure. On imaging, features may include enlarged ventricles, with the surrounding brain tissue often appearing normal. Clinically, NPH typically presents with a classic triad of symptoms: gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, and cognitive dysfunction.
